Well, my stop to the grocery store on the way home reminded me of ANOTHER one....there I sit, patiently waiting w/ turn signal on for grandma to pull out of her parking space....so that Mr. Speed Demon in the little sports car can whip his into the spot BEFORE me. Oh, slow boil. Wish I could just pick up that Glock 9 and aim it in his direction....not to shoot him really, just let him know I could if I wanted.... make 'em tinkle a little in his pants enough so that he rethinks this stunt again. Or since I can not go around banishing a hand gun....I would like to throw my big, black truck with knobby tires (think Katherine Turner in the War of the Roses here), into four wheel drive and PARK that baby on TOP of his. Sigh....do neither but utter a nasty name under my breath

Sure it does, cause without us they could not find their shoes, socks, or the ketchup in the fridge....course if they pick up the milk carton for a big ol' swig, they'd see the ketchup...right there behind it.

And while I'm on here....I noticed MY post above yours has my dd's user name because she never logged off....another pet peeve

Spoiled kids and spoiled adults... they think the louder they yell or stomp their feet at the store the more they get what they want. If they just explain the situation and listened to the options to fix it life would be so much better for everyone... When my kid yells at me for something that is the last thing I'm going to give him say please and life is much happier for everyone.

After reading these, I go downstairs and what do I find???

The new roll of TP resting on top of the empty roll....

Sigh and continue to repeat... concentrate on the good qualities.... concnetrate on the good qualities.... concentrate on the good qualities.....

cheryl000 · 01-31-2006, 09:40 PM

Okay! This is a GREAT thread! Here are some of mine and I'm trying not to repeat stuff other's have said:

1.) When you go to the gym and you're waiting for the equipment and there are 2 people just sitting on it hanging out and talking. I think it's cool to work out with a friend, but this isn't the bar people! Esspeically when it's the 24 hour express workout area! They are BARELY working out at all and then when you go to sit on it, it's the lightest setting. No wonder they're not sweating like you and are having such a fun time chatting. Sorry, I'm probably just saying that because it happened today and it ticked me off!

2.) People who pronounce washer "WARSHER!" jeez! Pronouncing words wrong is only cute if you're a child! My son used to say, "Heli-copter-copter"

3.) When my 3 year old son "misses" the toilet and pees on the floor behind the toilet. But I have also CAUGHT my husband peeing on the floor too! Even though he denied everything.

4.) People who laugh at their own jokes or make a comment and put -LOL after everything they say. I have seen someone put under a picture comment on Myspace of a lizard saying "oops! I farted! LOL." And believe it or not folks, it wasn't a 7 year old who did it, but a 22 year old lady with 2 kids!

5.) When my husband asks for me to help him look for something and then he quits looking and then he says, "Did you find it?"

6.) People smoking around my son. He has never been around it and he saw someone smoking and he said "He's eating it!"

7.) When people are looking for a yorkie and act like PRICE and SIZE are the ONLY things to look for in a yorkie.

8.) People farting around me. They should go to the bathroom and do it! And take some BEANO.

9.) Women who complain about being pregnant and seriously want the child out. Today I went to the grocery store and I saw a lady who looked like she was 9 months along. I thought, "Wow, that is SO beautiful, what a cute belly." As I walked down the aisle she was reaching up for a big bottle of corn oil, they didn't have a shopping cart so I'm pretty sure that's what they came in for. http://www.compleatmother.com/articl...stor_oil.shtml
I just hope they did their research first, they must not have since it's castor oil they need. But then last night I watched some chick on MTV begging the doctor to induce her labor because she doesn't like how uncomfortable the pregnancy is making her. Then with Britney Spears doing a planned c-section with nothing wrong with the baby. I just can't understand it all and if someone would please explain it to me I would be greatful. I didn't like some things about being pregnant but never did I want my kid out of me THAT bad. Someone told me to cherish every minute of being pregnant because that is one of the old times in your life you can help god out making a miracle. I still miss feeling the baby's hiccups and kicks. Sorry this one was so long!

10.) People who think they know EVERYTHING. My father-in-law is that way. I hated sitting through his talks. He told me that the smartest people do what he did and file for bankruptcy every 10 years. He said if he could do it all again he would have done it every 10 years since he was 18. People like that never get ahead in life. I had to bite my tongue because I am VERY good with money and I know alot about finances. He also said, "If you can great credit for it, you can afford it." WRONG! It's no wonder why My husband's parents live in his Grandmother's house.

Okay, I'm done for now! This is fun though!

LOL! Apparently THE TP IS a big PET PEEVE over here! I will tell you how I solved the TP problem!
Since I am THE ONLY person in this house that changes the TP I got sick of it. I buy the Charmin MEGA rollls now. It is basically 1 HUGE roll that is equal to 4 regular rolls. It is GREAT! I hardly ever have to change it now. I used to buy the huge 24 pack rolls which used to take up my whole closet. But now the 6 pack mega roll takes up less space. I hope this helps others as well!

very easily. If you take printed roll of paper towel and hang it under the print shows only on what is on the roll. If you hang it over it also shows on the part that is hanging. Simple. So there is a right way. Using simple logic then toilet paper MUST go the same way.

Whoa, don't get me started....hmmm pet peeves....
OK, I'm not an English teacher, but it just goes all through me when I see apostrophes used incorrectly. I mean really incorrectly. There's a sign, no joke, that is posted at my local convenient store..."Are them hand's of your's cold? We have glove's for $1.00!" I think I'm seriously gonna have to take a red correction pencil with me next time I go in there!!!!!
